Demographic profile: Marketers typically combine several variables to define a demographic profile. A demographic profile (often shortened to “a demographic”) provides enough information about the typical member of this group to create a mental picture of this hypothetical aggregate.

A travel behavior consumer survey with a special emphasis on emerging mobility options was designed and implemented by the Travel Behavior Lab at the Florida International University. Respondents were asked about their current travel patterns, personal preference, and attitudes toward mobility options. In addition, they were presented with SP scenarios that evaluated travelers’ mode choice behavior. The survey was conducted in March and April 2017 and covered 10 major metropolitan areas across the United States as well as the state of Florida, as shown in Figure 1. Selection of metro areas was based on the 2010 census demographic profile considering their sizes as well as geographic locations. The survey covered five from the top 10 metro areas (New York, Chicago, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami), and eight from the top 30 metro areas (San Francisco, Phoenix, Seattle, Minneapolis, Denver, Cincinnati, Orlando, and Tampa).

One of the key data quality issues is representativeness. The results drawn from the data collection should be valid for an entire area of interest (spatial distribution); trip information should be valid for different days, weeks and months (time distribution); the participants should represent the investigated population in terms of socio-demographic profile; all transport modes should be included in a representative manner; and lastly the trip purposes should be representative. A smartphone-based travel survey is likely to be unrepresentative in terms of socio-demographic coverage, due to the fact that only people with a GPS-equipped smartphone and an internet subscription can participate in de survey (Nitsche, Widhalm, Breuss, & Maurer, 2012). Another issue concerning the representativeness is the operating system that the application can run on. Most of the reviewed software is available on the two largest mobile operating systems, Android and iOS. On the one hand, limiting the availability to just one platform may distort or limit the sample of the population that the campaign aims to reach. On the other hand, having to develop multiple versions of the software adds to the cost of development and involves additional technical complexity.
